Sid Stamm is the lead privacy engineer at Mozilla. He is working on making the web a safer place for everyone, and has been instrumental in designing and developing many of the security and privacy-related features in Firefox including Content Security Policy and the Do Not Track header. He has published many academic papers on privacy, security and anti-fraud. He holds a Ph.D. in computer science from Indiana University.
Abstract: The growth of data sharing on the web is rapid and biased towards making shiny new things. New types of web applications pop up every day, and with fast innovation in data mining and analytics, the smallest bits of information about you can be valuable. While the complexity and robustness of web applications is quickly expanding, people's ability to control what happens with their information needs to grow fast enough to match. This talk discusses what Mozilla knows about needs for better privacy and anonymity, and what they're doing about it. There is lots of work to be done, and with a little focus and help we can put people back in control of what is done with their data.

HotPETs provides a unique chance to receive feedback from privacy experts and stimulate future research in privacy. Accepted papers will not be included in the PETS proceedings so as not to preclude later publication of a full paper, but they will be made available in electronic format during the workshop to fuel discussions.
The nature of HotPETs' discussion-oriented format is especially suited to works in progress with promising preliminary results. However, submissions of mature works seeking dissemination and feedback from the community are also encouraged.
Suggested topics include but are not restricted to:
- Interdisciplinary privacy: usability, economics, legal issues, cultural perspectives
- Privacy in databases
- Privacy-preserving cryptography
